Watch: Royce 5’9″ weighs in on Lil Wayne’s racism comments Posted on January 15, 2021January 15, 2021 By Remy Gelenidze While speaking to Ebro Darden on Apple Music’s Beats 1, Royce Da 5’9″ tried to explain what is systematic racism to Lil Wayne.“Lil Wayne, I heard come out of his mouth in an interview that racism does not exist. Being famous early for a Black person is crippling. My brother, you are going to jail for the second time. The first time you went to prison, you went for a gun that was not even on you. That is racism, Lil Wayne.” said Royce. Watch the interview below: Back in 2016, Lil Wayne sat down with ABC’s “Nightline” where he talked about Black Lives Matter movement.“I do not know that you put a name on it. It is not a name, it is not ‘whatever, whatever,’ it is somebody got shot by a policeman for a f**ked up reason. I am a young, black, rich motherf**ker. If that do not let you know that America understand. I do not feel connected to a damn thing that ain’t got nothing to do with me. I am connected to this flag. I am a gangbanger ma’am.” said Weezy.
